Lenovo announced its latest workstation, the ThinkStation E32, and despite very solid specs, the machines cost far less than you might expect. Available in both traditional tower and SFF form factors, the ThinkStation E32 starts at a mere $729. For what is presumably a lot more money than $729 (the HP Z1 workstation PC we reviewed is $1.899 for example), you can configure a ThinkStation E32 with up to Intel Xeon E3-1200v3 processors, NVIDIA Quadro K4000 graphics, 32GB of 1600MHz ECC RAM, and three storage drives--a 3TB SATA HDD, 256GB SSD, and 128GB mSATA.

Today we have a new Intel Xeon W3540-based Lenovo workstation – the ThinkStation S20 - on our bench for some testing. Some of you may be wondering what a "workstation" really is. Well, it's a term more commonly used in a business environment, especially one in which CAD/CAM design, 3D rendering or high performance computing occurs, and it basically just refers to a higher-end desktop or laptop. In the environments we've worked in, we've heard workstations referred as high-end desktops or laptops, tech PCs, and technical workstations. In this context, workstations (at least the desktop variety)... Read more...
IBM has been a name synonymous with computers and technology for nearly 30 years. That point alone leaves little doubt as to why Lenovo moved to acquire IBM's Personal Computing Division in 2004. When the acquisition was finalized in 2005, Lenovo instantly became a global PC leader. Over the past four years, Lenovo has worked hard to become a household name. With slick product lines, like the IdeaPad, ThinkPad and the IdeaCentre, that goal is gradually becoming a reality. One place where Lenovo probably hasn't had to work quite as hard at making inroads, is the corporate environment. As IBM began... Read more...
Targeting professionals in fields such as computer-aided design, digital content creation, and oil and gas, Lenovo announced two powerful new desktop computing solutions, the ThinkStation D20 and S20.

This is a lovely riches to rags to riches story that I have seen in movie form several times. I had never read this lovely book about a little girl who loses everything and yet believes that if she pretends she is a princess, she can rise above the cold and hunger that has become her reality. The ending in the book is different than the one in the movie version. Although this was written as a story for little girls, I believe that adults can enjoy the heartwarming story too.
December 2014
Hmmm…. I never read this as a child, so I don't have the nostalgia-filter on, and I still liked it quite a lot. The writing is smooth, with some lovely turns of phrase and some charming insights.
Sarah Crewe starts off as the "princess" of her boarding school. Her father is rich and she is doted on with all the latest fashions and toys and her own private rooms and even her own maid. Yet she is not spoiled, she is generous and kind and her true joy comes in learning and imagining. She makes up fantastical stories to entertain the other girls, takes especial care of a young one named Lottie, and sneaks extra bits of food to the poor little scullery girl.
When tragedy strikes, she is left a penniless orphan, reduced to wearing rags, overworked by the school staff who turn cruel - taking out their previous jealousies on her and glorying in her fall from grace. These are her trials, and she struggles to retain her kind and giving nature, to make friends with the rats in the attic and not to give into bitterness, loneliness, cruelty and despair.
I'm a bit amused by all the reviews I've been seeing for this book, that either love it or hate it. How can you possibly HATE it? "Sarah" is less a "Mary Sue" and more an archetype, a symbol, a moral lesson for the audience. She is clearly meant to be an ideal, more than she is meant to be a person.
And the lessons found herein, to be kind and generous to those you encounter regardless of their station, to conduct yourself like the kind of person you wish to be (i.e. a princess) and to embrace imagination and wonder in the world around you are all timeless, wise lessons for all of us.
These are true words of wisdom for any child (or adult):
"When people are insulting you, there is nothing so good for them as not to say a word - just to look at them and think. . . . When you will not fly off into a passion people know you are stronger than they are, because you are strong enough to hold in your rage and, and they are not, and they say stupid things they wish they hadn't said afterwards." (p. 147)
I have to admit it - I loved Sarah, I was emotionally invested throughout the book and I think it is a classic that still has a lot to offer children (or adults!) who are fortunate enough to find a copy of A Little Princess placed in their hands.
This must surely be one of the sweetest, loveliest books a girl could read in childhood. It's been a long time but reading it again all these years down the line (in my early 20s), it still holds such charm, wonder and profound messages about class, poverty and happiness that I know it'll be returning to my shelf to read again and pass on to my own children.
It tells the story of Sara Crewe, a rich little girl brought up in India by her beloved father, who moves to England to go to boarding school at the gloomy seminary belonging to the formidable Miss Minchin. She is the star pupil, dressed in finery and always happy to share her good fortune and vivid imagination with her classmates. But when a tragic twist of fate strips her of everything, Sara ends up a poor orphan working as a drudge in the seminary where once she was idolised by her fellow pupils. Miss Minchin uses this as a fine opportunity to take a sort of revenge on this strange little girl, who she has never understood but has always indulged thanks to her wealth. But no matter how hard her life becomes, she remains generous and polite to those around her, rich and poor alike, pretending that she is a princess in order to keep her morals and spirits strong. Finally, just as even her fiery spirit is at breaking point, an English gentleman who has been living in India moves into the house next door and magical things start to happen as their interest in each other grows. Of course everything will come right in the end, but I won't give away any more because it deserves to be read and enjoyed...
This is a beautiful, moving, and inspiring novel, whether you're 6 or 60! It is well written, with highly individual and well-rounded characters, and a wealth of description which makes it very atmospheric and allows even a child to see Sara's London in vivid detail. There are images in the book which I could still remember clearly and recognise years after I read it as a little girl, and even now I was holding my breath and waiting for everything to fall into place! In today's selfish modern society it also provides a reminder of how a little generosity and kindness goes a long way, and is a perfect fairy tale for littler princesses too. I'd also recommend The Secret Garden for a slightly less girlie but equally sweet, timeless and beautiful story.
Surprisingly, I never read this when I was younger, even though I first got this book when I was 8 or 9 (yeah, it's been on my shelf for a loooong time). I absolutely love the 1995 movie version (directed by Alfonso Cuaron), so I was eager to start reading this.
Um. It was OK. I know I would have appreciated it a lot more if I read it when I was younger (although I'm pretty sure I would have thought a lavish wardrobe for a doll is silly). I liked some of the more beautiful and lyrical sentences Hodgson Burnett wrote, but the whole thing seemed overly saccharine to me, specifically the way Lottie, Ermengarde, and Becky basically worshiped the ground Sara walked on. Also, the casual racism and some of the older men's fascination with little girls does not hold up well. But I like the overall message of the book: if you remain kind and hold on to your dreams/imagination, you will be OK.
I know this is a classic, and I'm glad so many people love it; however, it just wasn't for me.
I absolutely adored The Secret Garden, so I read this, too. When one is a girl, one can believe such fantasies.

English Leather by Dana
I respect the amount of positive reviews on this one, but for me this is not good at all. Smells extremely cheap and is, smells very offensive and is, Makes me a little sick when i smell it. Not good at all and if this is what people think leather smells like then they arent smelling a good quality leather scent such as fahrenheit or something like that.

"This is an amazing property. It has been beautifully renovated, no detail has been missed. The interior decor and furnishings are gorgeous and of the highest quality. There are many beautiful areas both in and out-doors to relax. There is a large pool with an adjacent outdoor kitchen and dining table. The surroundings are beautiful, serene, spacious, and peaceful. Easy access for a bike ride or a hike along the Rio Grande/Bosque trail. The chickens on the property lay fresh eggs for your enjoyment every morning. This is a great spot for a girls trip, a small family gathering, or a romantic getaway. There is plenty to do on the property and Albuquerque and Santa Fe are a short trip away (30-60 minutes). There are several good restaurants, and a sprouts grocery store close by in Corrales. I highly recommend this property and would gladly return in the future."Guest: Birthday Girl Date of Stay: August 2015 Review Submitted: September 1, 2015View listing

"Lovely home! I slept in the master bedroom with the blinds up every night to watch the city lights. The sun coming up over the mountains in the morning was an added bonus. I loved the grill on the deck, and there was so much property outside, you felt like you were all alone. My son would walk around the home taking his daily "hikes" and never got bored. There is a dvd and vcr and movies provided by the owner. The tub upstairs was super relaxing. Owner provided good quality linens, and travel size toiletries in case you forgot something. Home is not far from the inner city, but you may not want to leave. Nice washer and dryer downstairs, and lots of cleaning supplies. Sarah was very nice and text me to make sure I had a pleasant arrival. Overall, I would stay here again! Thanks Sarah and Stan"Guest: Terri Date of Stay: September 2015 Review Submitted: September 24, 2015View listing

The house was absolutely immaculate and everything was above and beyond what we expected. The house was perfectly located to make day trips, and we loved the information book that she left for us (we used it extensively).

2006 Buick Lucerne Sedan CXS 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
I'm retired so I can hardly wait to find some place to go so I can drive our Lucerne. We love the ride, handling, power, controls and I guess there isn't anything that we don't like. We live in the mountains of north central PA where we have no city driving and avg 22.5. Went to Baltimore, MD last weekend and driving 70mph for 250mi.I got 26.4mpg
Looks, power, quietness, comfort, controls. I cannot say enough about this car
2006 Buick Lucerne Sedan CXL V8 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
This is the best Buick I have ever owned. It has a quiet smooth ride, handles well in tight spots, the V8 gives a positive edge to the overall performance of the car. So far very satisfied
Quiet smooth ride. V8 engine!
Better gas mileage, better instrument panel lighting
2006 Buick Lucerne Sedan CXL V6 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)
I really love the looks of the car inside and out. I know that GM has finally started making great cars again that can compete with any make. It is a driving dream and the first trip we received 33 mpg at 60 mph on cruise. Nothing to complain about. I had looked at a Honda Accord and felt I was getting more vehicle for my dollar with the Buick.
Nice smooth driving and road handling characteristics. The seats feel great even after years of back problems. The Harman Kardon sound system is top notch!
A fuel filler door lock would be great.
I have had this car for more than 18 months and enjoy it now as much as when I first bought it. Love the look and the comfort. Out of all the cars I have owned (of all types), I have gotten more compliments on this one than any other - from people admiring the looks as well as passengers.
Extremely comfortable with great dual-zone AC and stereo; decent gas mileage for the size and power; beautiful car!
Really wanted heated seats but that required moving up to the highest trim line that was just not worth it; split/fold down rear seats would be helpful.
This is a very nice car but it is definitely not a Park Ave replacement! So far I've not had any problems but I miss the roominess and some features of the 2003 Park Ave Ultra. I miss the Ultra Heads Up Display feature the most but it appears to be not available in any type of sedan style auto. I swore that I would not buy a new vehicle without HUD but I broke down since it appears that no HUD is forthcoming in the next several years models. Center console convenience of this car leaves a bit to be desired. Door and window posts are a bit too thick and impair visibilty. Also needs more infinite steering wheel adjustment so when in driving position view of speedometer is not obstructed.
Love the exterior styling, ride, quietness, handling and power. Gas mileage very good for this 4.6 liter Northstar engine.
Bring back the Heads Up Display, in fact, make it standard equipment. It is a fantastic safety feature since one never has to take eyes off the road. Widen front seats by at least an inch. Bring back power trunk lid drawdown,locking gas door with inside remote release and adjustable head restraints.

By looking at ways to use them in gameplay, add them to your plots, and give them personality you can bring back some of the old magic.

Tropers: Space Wolf
This page is undergoing a process of gradual reconstruction. Aspiring writer... Casual gamer... Amateur longboarder... Bored intellectual... A tendency to mix complex words with moderate profanity...

Also, I'm not as into wolves as you'd think. I'm really more of a monkey guy. I am now the "Arbiter of Ambition", according to Silently Honest. If you'd like to vandalize, go to my wall.

KOO whips up some tasty student meals in the Expresso Kitchen
Recent news article
Posted on Thursday, 6 Aug 2015
This week, on the Expresso Morning Show on SABC 3, Alice and the team were joined by two young students who live together in a communal digs. We asked them what a typical meal looks like in their household, and how much thought goes into health when preparing food. The answers were amusing as...
I remember when my friends and I were youngsters; we would get into a lot of mischief-making. The one that sticks out was our love for food and the things we did to acquire it. I would pinch a can of KOO Baked Beans from my Mum's cupboard, another friend an onion from his, and the other friend's tomatoes, chilies, oil, salt and chilli powder from their homes.Read More
My Best and favourite KOO Memory is when I was about 10 years old. My Mom would cook up a storm of food for Eid. She would get my sisters and me to open many KOO tins for the variety of food and salad with an old style opener. I can still remember how sore our fingers were, but when the food was done my whole family could not resist the smell of food and shout out loud: "It's KOO all the way!Read More
I remember in 1996 my dad was very sick, he couldn't eat anything. My Mom decided to make her pudding and custard. She sent me to buy a can of KOO Peach Halves. She added them into my Dad's pudding custard, and to my surprise he ate it all except the pudding, saying it's too sweet for him to finish. I was raised by a woman who trusted KOO for years and today I also trust KOO.Read More
My best memory was the day I got back from honeymoon - and I had to make supper for my husband. I had never made supper for him before, so my Mom advised me to make Baked Beans and Sausages. She gave me the steps to follow and I did it exactly as she told me. The food came out perfectly! My husband was so surprised and it was enough food for 2 days! I must say KOO makes food go a long way.Read More

NCAA refs getting leeway in calling elbows to head
Updated: May 9, 2013, 10:16 PM ETAssociated Press
It appears the penalty for accidentally elbowing an opponent above the shoulders in college basketball won't be as costly next season.
The NCAA committees for men's and women's basketball rules want to give referees leeway in how they deal with those situations.
Pending approval by the Playing Rules Oversight Committee next month, referees who call an elbow to the head will be allowed to use a video monitor to determine the severity of the blow. If deemed inadvertent, the referee could ...

MOISTURE rdtsrsrANr PANEL HEATER BACKGROIIND or THE INVENTION l. Fieldof the Invention This invention relates to a panel heater for use in water or in a wet condition, especially in a fish tank for 2. Description of the Prior Art The panel heater for such purposes must meet a number of requirements, among which are;
I. It shouldhave an output suited for the particular size of the water tank, and be free from current leakage.
2.,Its surfacetemperature should not be too high (watt density).
3. It should not be corroded by sea water.
4'. There should be no change in the resistance of the heat-generating element with the passage of time, and the element should generate a constant amount of heat.
5. The outer sheath of the heater should not burn when exposed to air. I
6. The size of the heater should be moderate and easy to withdraw from the tank.
The conventional underwater heater which has a metal surface-has a high watt density and a surface temperature of more than 200C, and its temperature gradient in a water tank is steep.,Therefore, it is unsuitable for fish culture. Furthermore, the metal coating on the surface is especially heavily corroded in a fish tank for sea fish, and can be used only for a short duration of time. I
Commercially available vinyl resin coated wires are sometimes used as a heater for a fish tank. Officially,
with laminated layers of synthetic resin films on both sides suffer from an increase in the resistance of the heating element by the influence of moisture which has permeated through the films as time passes, and a decrease in output cannot be avoided. Furthermore, when the heaters of this type are connected in water to an alternating current source, the worker standing on the ground feels leaked current when putting his hand into the water, although the leakage does not affect the fish in the tank. According to the Law for Regulating Electric Appliances, the leaked current should be less than 1 mA. Experiments show that in order to adjust the leaked current to less lmA, the maximum area of the panel heater should be restricted to 700cm and its output should be adjusted to less than 140 W. With such a panel heater, it is impossible to maintain a water tank having a capacity of 300 to 500 liters at a moderate temperature of to 28C.
SUMMARY. OF THE INVENTION The present invention Provides a panel heater containing a carbon fiber-containing paper as a heating element, which is free from the above-mentioned defects as an underwater heater.
The main object of this invention is to provide an underwater heater for maintaining a fish tank for sea fish culture at a moderate temperature, which is safe and usable for prolonged periods of time, that is, to reduce leakage of current by incorporating aluminum foil in a panel heater, and to prevent a change of the resistance of the heating element with the passage of time.
Still another object is to prevent the leakage of current at the current passing part of a panel heater.
- BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a plan view showing the structure ofa moisture resistant panel heater of this invention;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged sectional view of a part of the panel heater shown in FIG. 1; and
FIG. 3 is a partly sectional plan view showing the current passing part of the panel heater of this invention.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT The structure of the panel heater of this invention will be described by reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, there is shown a panel heater consisting of a heating element 1, layers 2 and 2' of a synthetic resin such as polyethylene, aluminum foils 3 and 3', layers 4 and 4' of the above-mentioned synthetic resin, outer layers 5 and 5 of a synthetic resin such as a polyester, electrodes 6 and 6, and conducting wires 7 and 7' for passing electricity. Specifically. on both surfaces of the heating element 1 consisting of a sheet of carbon fiber-containing paper and electrodes 6 and 6 made, for example, of a copper wire gauze I connected to both ends of the paper sheet are laminated the synthetic resin layers 2 and 2. On both surfaces of the resin layers, the aluminum foils 3 and 3' are then laminated. Furthermore, on both surfaces of the.
aluminum foils, the synthetic resin layers such as polyethylene 4 and 4 and then the synthetic resin sheets such as polyester 5 and 5' are laminated successively. The heating element 1 is adapted to be heated by passing electricity through the electrodes 6 and 6.
For example, when the panel heater is used in water or in a wet condition, it is necessary to take measures for preventing current leakage at terminals leading to the heating element in water or in a wet condition, as shown in FIG. 3. An extension of the electrode 6 of the panel heater is soldered to a core 10 of an exteriorly insulated conductor, and a polyethylene insulating layer ll of the conductor is laminated by hot pressing to the polyethylene layer2 and 2 which is an interlayer of the synthetic resinportion of the above-heating element. Then, a part of a polyvinyl chloride sheath 8 of the conductor is brought into contact with the edge 12 of the above laminated synthetic resin Sand 5, and then, both of them are wrapped in contact with each other in a cloth, such as a felt or flannel I3, impregnated with an epoxy resin, and by curing the epoxy resin the, terminal portions of thepanel heater are completed.
By this construction, the impermeability of the aluminum foils serves to avoid an increase in the resistance of the carbon fiber-containing paper, and hence a decrease inoutput. Furthermore, the presence of the aluminum foils contributes to the reduction of leaked current to about one-third as compared with a panel heater which does not include aluminum foils. Thus, the area of the panel heater can be increased by about three times.
The panel heater of this invention produces output suitable for a given fish culture tank, and is free from current leakage and corrosion by sea water. It also prevents changes in the resistance of the heating element with the passage of time, and also burning of the outer layer during heat generation in air. It is flexible and can be formed into any desired shape, and moreover, a suitable temperature gradient in the fish tank can be provided by its suitable surface temperature. Thus, the panel heater of this invention can be effectively used with safety not only in water but also ina wet environment. v

If you want an outlook-changing life experience, look no further than Climate Ride.
I just returned from my fifth Climate Ride and this ride was every bit as transformative as those that preceded it. Climate Ride California 2013 was a record-breaking event that offered an incredible experience to those who participated while making a real impact on its beneficiaries and the environmental causes they support.
The Shout-Outs
First, I must offer extreme gratitude:
- a HUGE round of thanks to the 66 generous people who donated online to my ride and helped me make my fundraising goal of $5,000.00. I am inspired by your generosity and shared commitment to building a sustainable future.
- Another HUGE round of thanks to those who attended our fundraiser in late April and helped us raise nearly $1,400.00 for Climate Ride and its beneficiaries.
Thanks so much for all your support!
The Stats
This ride was one of record-breaking firsts. Here are some interesting facts about the 2013 California Climate Ride:
- A group of about 140 dedicated riders raised over $475,000.00 to support more than 60 beneficiary organizations focusing on clean energy, climate education, bicycle advocacy, and sustainability. This is the most money raised by a single Climate Ride yet.
- Rider Satch Slavin raised $13,665.00, setting the record for most money raised by any rider in any single Climate Ride event.
- These cyclists powered through 320+ miles of riding that included nearly 15,000 feet of climbing, 40-50 MPH winds, and one 102-mile day.
The Team
I was so lucky to be a part of Team B the Change, a group comprised of B Corps like Mightybytes and BrandGEEK, as well as staff members of B Lab, a Climate Ride beneficiary and the nonprofit that certifies B Corps (among many other cool things).
This inspiring group of riders raised over $23,000.00, putting us in fifth place among all fundraising teams. And they were excellent cycling companions too! We rode together daily, encouraging each other over every hill and around every curve, which makes a big difference when you're tired, sweaty, and parts of your body you didn't know exist are screaming for you to stop whatever the hell it is you're doing. I'd ride with any or all of them again in a minute.
For more on Team B the Change's Climate Ride experience, check out their awesome post Smiling Back at Climate Ride. Also, a big shout-out to team members Merlin Clarke and Lori Vandenbrink who unfortunately couldn't make the ride but were with us in spirit. We missed you!
The Ride
The ride itself was spectacular. There were no injuries. The weather held out. Even my legs held out…though they reminded me often that I'm not 23 anymore. Or 33. Or even 43 for that matter. But it was a tremendous experience, punctuated every day by difficult climbs that paid off through breathtaking vistas and incredible views of trees as big around as houses, miles and miles of rugged coastline, and acre after acre of rolling vineyards. Then, finally, after five days and one last bitter climb out of Sausalito: The Golden Gate Bridge.
After crossing the bridge and meeting at Sports Basement, we rolled en masse to San Francisco City Hall for a rally and speeches by environmentalist and author Paul Hawken, San Francisco District 8 Supervisor Scott Weiner, and San Francisco Environment Director Melanie Nutter.
The Future!
This ride also included some great announcements that will bring Climate Ride's events to more people and create more impact:
- The California ride will have a new route that ends in Sacramento next year, giving riders the opportunity to make a real political difference like they do at the end of the NYC-DC Climate Ride.
- Climate Ride Midwest will take place in Summer 2014, route TBD.
- Climate Hike, a multi-day hiking event meant to showcase places most adversely affected by climate change will kick off Summer 2014.
- Climate Ride DIY (working title) will give individuals, companies and teams tools to create their own events.
Stay tuned for more info on all of the above via Climate Ride's website. In the meantime, click the image below to check out Climate Ride's Flickr feed of images uploaded by riders during their five-day excursion:
The Call-to-Action
Climate Ride has, to date, granted over $1,000,000.00 to its beneficiaries since the organization was founded in 2008. The 60+ beneficiaries that Climate Ride grants money to every year affect real, monumental change in the form of everything from protected bike lanes to protected forests, from creating climate-friendly legislation to creating a new sector of the economy focused on social impact. Couple that with the transformative experience of sharing a difficult five day-long physical challenge with 140+ new-found friends and you've got a truly winning combination.
I encourage anyone who wants to make a difference and work together toward a sustainable future to consider Climate Ride in their cycling or fundraising futures.
Better yet, why not sign up for a Climate Ride now?

HeartbeatsI was looking North, to a space above the rim of the worldHeartbeats10 months ago in Concrete Poetry
Where thousands by ten thousand wondrous angels swirled
And in my mind's eye I saw one turn her gaze directly to me
Rising up on great black wings, like a whirlwind, so quickly
All time collapsed, and in a moment by my side she so fell
Speaking words of pure passion, casting a binding spell
And with her dark ways she bewitched my fervent heart
A state of being from which I wished never to depart
This unleashing a fury of emotion, which filled my breast
My frenzied heart beating furiously, not needing for rest
Sourcing great red rivers of blood, ever furiously flowing
Coursing through me in waves, never ending or slowing
The scarlet tide of my desire, roaring, creating such excite
Fueling a great burning love, which blazed, and lit the night
Flames flickering, reaching ever higher, even unto the skies
I was blinded by love, a veil of red mist before my very eyes
My angel singing a fearsome blood song, the rhythm divine
Dear Diary, All About Her....Dear diary,Dear Diary, All About Her....3 years ago in Concrete Poetry
She showed me her arm today
Broken down, without a word to say
She lay in my arms and cried
And told me she can't decide
Between death and being alive
I saw all her bloody, raw skin
Rocking back and forth
Her knees pulled to her chin
A wrecked little doll
All dirty and used
Tired of being nothing at all
Enjoy the persisting abuse
I told her it hurts me to see
How she crumbles eventually
How I die right before her eyes
When she slips from my sight
But she just smiled and said
She can't help it
I know she doesn't try to be bad
But she's killing me
Slaughtering me beyond recognition
Like she's completing my failed mission
Of destruction, pain and despair
I know she doesn't...she just can't care
But she holds, she grabbed my heart
She holds it and tears it apart
She cuts my skin and uses my blood
To paint a picture of murderous art
Most naive love I feel for this girl
She humbles me, my thoughts whirl
Confuses me into oblivion
Should I let go? Abandon her?
I love...but the burd
Ransom noteThis is a ransom note.Ransom note6 years ago in Concrete Poetry
It fell beneath the rotting old stairwell,
From your sealed red lips,
Which by now,
Have begun to crumble.
This is a ransom note.
Chock full of the sweet taste,
Of roasted almonds on your tongue,
And golden honey sliding gently,
Down your throat.
This a ransom note.
Your smooth auburn hair,
Floats down around my neck,
And that ruffled orange skirt,
Waltzes in your stead.
This is a ransom note.
All I ask is that you open your eyes,
Soft as the yellow sun,
And take your hand in mine,
But don't let go.
SerenadeSing for meSerenade5 years ago in Concrete Poetry
The song of lovers
The lullaby I have yet to hear in full
Sing for me
T'will be the only balm to this curse
You weaved around my heartstrings
Sing for me, beloved
Whether it be a sentence or a whole song
Sing for me until the clouds turn grey
In the desert sky
Your song will be the poison
The venom of my life
The melody, the symphony
That will be an end to my strife
It will be the rise of my immortality
The stirring in my bones once more
The shimmering of my soul
And the halting of my heart
A sensation I was sure did not exist anymore.
The peace I needI found peace lying down in your chest.The peace I need5 years ago in Concrete Poetry
A feeling I forgot it existed,
what I felt that night was the best.
A night I was drunk, stupid and twisted.
Hating the fact, I'm just a friend.
Trying not to kiss, I resisted.
In that state I could not pretend.
Because I dream about you.
Us kissing, my only intend.
This is my real point of view,
I truly wish love to be mutual.
This is my one only true.
If this can't be real
I would prefer,
to not even feel.
Be really blur.
Because this love is hurting,
like dry liqueur.
And I am not just flirting
I don't need your kisses just when I'm drunk.
And I am not pretending.
Because I feel life smells like stinky skunk.
I would love a sober kiss.
One when we could stand like healthy tree trunk.
Without having to say please
One that comes from your heart
On that day I would feel bliss.
But It's a kiss that probably never happens.

te remites a decir lo correcto

No eres seductora
prefieres ser precavida
para que no suenen las jaulas.
Nunca prejuzgas
dejas que el silencio sea tu investigador
y el tiempo tu consejero.
No te ilusionas
tocas cada evento de forma inquisitiva
y para nada emocional.
No te admiras
mas nunca caes en falsas modestias
y siempre estas dispuesta a golpes ilustrantes.
No dudas
en dudar cuando lo crees incorrecto
y tirarte al combate en busca de un desenlace.
Te desvelas
por tus sueños y en tus sueños.
No aceptas las utopías
buscas la belleza en la verdad
y una verdad bella.
Eres sensible
sin idealizar o idiotizarte.

es bella por ser etérea y abstracta
como tu perfume.
No eres nada de lo que yo no quiero
ni la que nunca encontrare.

pink and red
shining on her wrist
the blooms traced in metal
the petals shine in color
and a big jewel sparkles at the side
cold and sleek
around her dainty skin
the gift given in affection
the love shown in splendor
and a kiss on the cheek in farewell
alone and without
she lays it on the desk
the treasure lost from deep within
the gift now lost its value
and she's left it behind, moving on
I Cheated With VanityPride and the indecision,I Cheated With Vanity3 years ago in Concrete Poetry
Come what tomorrow skies at bay-
We shall all die alone and barren,
The cold promise given so we pray.
Do not hope, it is forsaken,
Depravity strips us from our demands,
Love is nothing but a nightmare,
There is nothing it can withstand.
Let's chase the sorrowful lusts tonight,
Fuck it all, we have nothing to lose but gained,
And when we are old and bitter,
Death shall be but the gift at old age.
And so we count and count,
Waiting for the last moment to recall,
For maybe father time shall sleep,
And mankind will be swallowed whole in all.
The Trials of RomanceThe Trials of Romance2 years ago in Concrete Poetry
Her love is what I need.
To be consumed indeed.
While others came and passed,
Her love will surely last.
Her eyes as blue as brilliant skies,
Her hips for me a subtle prize.
Her hair as blonde as summer sands,
Her lips as full as promised lands.
To be with her I will elate,
All trials consumed within her gait.
She reads what reads of toil now,
To be with me is in her brow.
I will make good a lover's lust,
To lay to rest a curse I must.
And set aside all misplaced trust,
To capture spark it must be rushed.
To her I owe all time and space.
To be with her I must make haste,
She waits for none it is now known.
To reap the fruit that we have sown,
All time elapses in her eye;
To sing in key a lullaby.
To rest my love upon her lips,
She rests her love upon the tips;
Of mountain tops they've dubbed desire.
To gain her trust amidst the fire,
I trust in her to take me higher.
For the flame that burns, burns of desire.
PicturesGentle silence rests through the county,Pictures5 years ago in Concrete Poetry
leaving day to chase night-
the glory is the chase of the bounty.
Skipping through hayfields in the summer light.
Typical stone faces blazing with colour,
like blushes of freelance youth.
Feeling ideas that can't be smothered;
the wind tears your thoughts loose.
Letters hide in the wide open sky,
the message could read what you dream-
alas, to our demise: mystery is shy,
love and patience: the ill fitting team.
Swim for refreshment in the crystal creek,
let the current kiss the tips of your toes.
The water eerily hums; exotic birds squeak-
hush child, the forest consumes your woes.
This fantasy is frozen in timeless pictures,
decorating the walls of exile and prison-
inspiration captured with paint mixtures,
love the teacher; my vagrant heart won't listen.
I embrace the flashes of peace in my struggle,
lost in the ocean of self assured farm fields-
desire within; completion of a lover to cuddle,
under willow tree's wisdom and branch shields.

you'd almost find a beauty in the cycle of
imperfect repetition, but no hell was ever worse
he's been here ticking aching weary,
winding up this ancient grieving
heart to fake a beat or at least to keep him
breathing while he waits for you to come back
and admit that there's a part still dreaming
and i'm sure he'll find sleep someday, he'll
be dreaming too, but he's scared to dream right now
because he only dreams of you and i'm so sorry if
he doesn't have the edge that you'd expect from
jaded anti-heroes, there's just no
hero left, i guess, we'll watch him, waiting
bleary-eyed for the clockwork guy to wind the
rusted mechanism of a machine out of use,
and he'll just wait for you.
The Story Of My LifeThe Story Of My Life4 years ago in Concrete Poetry
I can feel that warmth again,
genuine and kind;
the steady rhythm of her heart
beating next to mine.
To even miss a second
is pity for the fools,
cause just one gaze and I am lost
in speckled sapphire jewels.
She'd offer out a hand
to me when I was down,
pull me to my feet
and fix me with a crown.
She treats me like a king
while I work her like a slave
and never have I thanked her
for everything she gave.
In the ground beneath my feet
and every single breath I breathe.
The sight, the touch, the sweetest taste,
the life, the love, the dream, the space.
The memories, the tragedies and all the in between
meant more to me then anything in life I've ever seen.
You've stayed with me both sight and dream, every day and night
So hereby I take you as the story of my life.
A prayer for John - PoemHoly mother, Strong and true,A prayer for John - Poem5 years ago in Concrete Poetry
There's something I must ask of you;
I've had to leave my man behind,
Please protect this heart of mine.
Protect his spirit, strong and bold,
Keep him sheltered from the cold;
Protect his laughter, soft and light,
Protect his mind, protect his might.
Protect his eyes, with their humorous spark,
Hold him back, when he starts to snark,
And keep his hair that same dark brown;
Make him smile, instead of frown.
Let all of his dreams come true,
May he do everything he's wanted to,
May he me lucky in all that he does;
May he find a new woman he loves.
Let there be no obsticles in his way,
Always a friend to chases his hurt away.
May he look back on us, without pain,
And think of it as an expirience gained.
Holy mother, of love and life,
Please protect him from this strife;
And help him to one day understand,
Why I had to leave my man.
Twin FlameTwin Flame5 months ago in Concrete Poetry
My twin flame, I sense he is near.
Not far or close but in my heart,
when I go to sleep or think alone.
The vibrations appear and I sense my
twin flame is near. I never meet him nor
know what he looks like. But deep down
inside I feel as though I'll see him.
Everyday I try to run, he is the chaser
and I am the runner. I fear to feel
the long lasting love, but inside I know
I'll need it.
Magical and sweet, is when I'll meet him.
But I fear the worst and not sure
where to go.
Deep down in my heart I feel as though
I'll meet him. I can;t run away for ever, away from true love.
But what if it is like the others? What if I get hurt?
What if its a mistake again?
I dream of him but I don't remember what he looks like,
only his hair is yellow like the bright sun.
Mysterious as I think, inside I feel I must wait.
I am in fear, and in confusion but I guess I'll have to wait
for my twin flame to get here.
ShatteredScattered ashes laid too waste,Shattered4 years ago in Concrete Poetry
False love, with to much haste
Blinded eyes will not see,
With unspeakable sins and false deeds
Lost love, with a painful choice,
Boastful ego, with mediocrity's voice
Multiplied sin,
Without the love of kin
Destructive lust, with naive youth
Unspeakable acts, with a bloody truth
does itdoes it5 years ago in Concrete Poetry
Does it feel the same when you think of her and dream
Does the dream come real half way when you see that beam
That shines for you just as it did with me and lights your way
All across the borders and even more, far away
Does it feel the same when you touch her skin
Does her skin feel as soft as mine, something like she's next of kin
Just as things were supposed to be
Nothing else, no one else but you and me
Does it feel the same when you love her passionately
Does your passion give as much as you gave me rationally
The same way you used to give me love and care
Nothing more, nothing to share
Does it mean to you when I cry
Does it make you want to try
To make things better and heal my heart
As if you never knew me, it's all new, from the start
Does it mean to you that I'm lonely without you
Does it move your intuition, and make you stop us from being two
To make us one, united with so much love
To share our lives together and never get enough
Does it mean to you that sharing you with t
Words of LoveWords of Love5 years ago in Concrete Poetry
Can't you tell?
Can't you see?
Things are not the same.
Am I sane?
Am I lost?
Things have changed.
What is this?
How can it be?
This is true, I know it.
This feeling, what is it?
This feeling, I like it.
I just don't know.
When I look at him, It shows.
When I think of him, He knows.
He knows I love him.
He knows I care.
But what can I do?
I could help but to fall.
I love him.
And I wont lie
You are my every breath
deep down in my chest
You are the reason I am
The reason I live
The reason I can be
who ever I wont to be
But the only person that I wish
Is the person right next to you.
And a billion times yes
I love you
It's true.
